We just discussed this on IRC - I'm not happy with the proposed solution of inserting a delay into the startup file like this. It'll make timeouts and it's not really acceptable to have calendar events broken for 60 seconds in my opinion.
I think we should talk with upstream, but a better solution might be gnome-shell not activating evolution-calendar-factory until later in its startup, or not activating it at all and finding a clever place in the session to activate it. ** Summary changed: - Delay startup of evolution-calendar-factory + evolution-calendar-factory slows down session startup -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to evolution-data-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756389 Title: evolution-calendar-factory slows down session startup Status in evolution-data-server package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On a default Bionic Desktop installation, evolution-calendar-factory starts early and slows down session startup. In the bootchart attached, it overlaps with gnome-shell startup which is also resource intensive. With evolution-calendar-factory delayed gnome-shell starts 2 seconds faster. evolution-calendar-factory startup should be delayed if it cannot be disabled completely.
